The Sumage Solution by Gail Carriger

Max fails at magic, relationships, and life. So he works as a sumage, cleaning up other mages’ messes. The job sucks and he’s in no mood to cope with redneck biker werewolves. Unfortunately, there’s something irresistible about the sexy muscled Beta visiting his office for processing. Bryan is gay but he’s not out. There’s a good chance Max might be reason enough to leave the closet, if he can only get the man to go on a date. Bryan is gay but he’s not out.

Loving the Ladies’ Man by Kristin Canary

Loving the Ladies’ Man by Kristin Canary

Connor is the last guy in the world I should fall for. He’s the resident office flirt. I’m the quirky Pride & Prejudice-loving editor who uses big words and dresses like the world’s non-sexiest librarian. We have nothing in common. And we’re competitors for the same job. Game on, right? May the best person win and all that? Fine by me. I’m happy to hold him at arms’ length forever. And considering I’m practically the only woman in the office he’s never flirted with, he’s obviously happy to do the same…. Read more.
